Unable to Participate in Concerted Works [Phoenix]

[imcrazyd]

Sooo I and quite a lot of other players were unable to take part in the concerted works that just happened on Phoenix due to the sheer congestion of people from other worlds or AFK in the firmament. So that's missed xp and scrip for a lot of players.

Who in their right mind thought that one instance and allowing wanderers to contribute would be a good idea?!

Exact same thing just happened on Balmung. A lot of non-server players used world visitation and came over just for the EXP and scrips then warped out for other servers.

Can the Devs server-lock the Firmament to prevent this. We got a lot of leeches and another case of Raubahns wall incoming if this keeps up.

Just happened on Lich with people from other servers mocking those of us who got locked out because i was out gathering materials....

[Leloa]

Luckily I waited in my server for 20 minutes before the fate started, but then I tried to jump to Lich and it was full. That isn't the only thing bothering though, the time for another fate is really messed up for people in EU. Like I would wake up at 5am to do a fate?! Yee I just might...

I don't get it. Why didn't SE make it with more instances like at the start of shadowbringers? The area is way to overloaded, the supplies at the fate didn't even spawn for some of us. I couldn't do anything, just watching the time run out and got nothing out of it. That's just BS.

If they absolutely shower us in FATEs and scrips while also lasting for a while (I imagine this content is going to be content for quite a few patches) I see this not really being a problem after a bit. . . but if these scrips stay desirable and we're not showered in FATEs .. and it doesn't last a long time.. this is going to be a huge problem lol.

If there is this much of a problem right now I'm afraid to see what happens tonight when US people get off work...

Letting people wait until it slows down is no argument. It's indeed a huge problem as people want to do current content now, not in a few weeks. So SE is to blame as they apparently didn't expect so much demand and underestimated it. This could be solved easily by making it an instance like they did with the new areas in shadowbringers.

SE, who seemingly after not being able to handle big boss fates decided that it would be a good idea to have such fates in such an instanced place. I was surprised that the server did not crash at all..it would be less of a problem if that fate would pop all the time (could have been used to provide us with the materials that we then have to turn into items) over different places..but something which might be quite limited and hours and hours apart?

(But the whole restauration just feels disappointing for me...thought that there would be a bit more to it next to unlimited item delivery..and I doubt that the leaderboard will make much of a difference)

Just to be clear I'm not defending any issues as if they're good, just out loud thought that if we're not showered in opportunities and rewards to the point everyone will get the fill they wanted that then it's going to be a huge problem (especially if other servers can prevent each other from taking part in the system, which sounds like a resounding yes). If like the first few days are busy I get that can be annoying but it wouldn't be super massive if at the end of the day everyone can still get what they want without issue, but yeah.. I'm not saying it's perfect (like how we've had launch instance problems before).

Personally a dark salty side of me is internally chuckling that a system related to (most likely, looks like it) housing is having housing like issues. Just like.. a dark evil super salty cackle lol. How I'm so ready to be done with this housing system, yet there seems to be no hope XD.
